April 19 is a big day for Ashley Tisdale. Not only does it mark the return of her camp-tastic cheerleading series “Hellcats,” but the debut of “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure” — the first “High School Musical” spin-off and Ashley’s first time as a movie’s lead!

So, yea, like I said … big day.

To celebrate the dual debuts, PopWrap caught up with the actress on a recent rainy day in New York City. First read what she has to say about “Hellcats” final five season one episodes and then watch her talk about slipping back into Sharpay’s pink pumps!

PopWrap: Tonight’s “Hellcats” looks amazing — but how exactly does the zombie invasion fit in?
Ashley Tisdale: The whole episode is about Dan, Savannah’s boyfriend, enrolling in Lancer and he has to do a short film as his application. The short film is The Zombies vs The Cheerleaders — very campy and scary. Since I’m the captain, I play the leader of everybody so I had all these funny lines. It’s such an amazing episode.

PW: Getting a bit of your action hero on — kind of like a mini Sarah Connor!
Ashley: That was literally my inspiration when I had to cock a shotgun with one arm! It was really heavy. I can’t even explain it to you. I work out six days a week and the next morning, I could barely move! My arms, back and shoulders were killing from carrying it around everywhere.

PW: When we last saw, Savannah had forgiven Dan, so is it all good now?
Ashley: It’s …. ok … question mark [laughs]. They’re ok for a couple that has gone through what they’ve gone through. Personally, I don’t think I’d ever take back a guy who did that, but I can see why Savannah did. This relationship really meant a lot to her because it’s out of the church and very different for her. She can see a future with Dan, so I think that’s in her head. Plus, people make mistakes — what happened with Dan and Marti might have just been a hiccup. She’s also thinking, “ok, you screwed up, now I’m in control.” She has the upper hand.

PW: Which is how she likes it!
Ashley: Yea! Come on! Who wouldn’t? [laughs]

PW: What would you tease about the final few season one episodes?
Ashley: There’s a lot going on – Savannah’s been through a lot this season when it comes to guys and there’s still plenty of stuff coming up with Dan. Also, her sister is pregnant and she found out who the father of that baby is. There’s some big surprises coming up in her family. Plus, Nationals is around the corner and we’re all buckling down for that. There’s a lot of shocking twists and turns coming up! Oh, and big finale cliffhangers for sure.
